Based on an annual profit of 600 million plus an annual development fund of 180 million, it will take five years to save up 4.2 billion. Even if it can make 1 billion a year in the future, it will take three and a half years to start construction. Taking into account the time taken for the project, this project will not be completed for at least five or six years.
Moreover, 4.2 billion is only the construction cost of the underwater tourist tunnel. It will cost about 350 million yuan to lay the track, add various safety protection equipment, and transport air for the tunnel and other basic equipment.
In response to Li Yaolin's worries, the housekeeper gave his suggestion: "The island owner can build it in sections, and set up automatic deductions. When the funds for the first phase of construction are sufficient, this housekeeper can deduct the funds and automatically proceed to the next phase of construction!"
Li Yaolin said: "Why doesn't the offshore cable car have this function?"
"The offshore cable car does not require such a high cost, and the island owner does not have too much financial pressure."
Li Yaolin: "..."
Who said that, 320 million is also a great financial pressure for her... cough cough, of course, in front of the 4.55 billion, the 320 million is just a fraction.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, plan this project into 10 phases... By the way, you must leave me 20% of the cash as working capital!"
Earn 600 million, throw it all in, and then have nothing when you need money, how painful it is.
"Okay, the 'Undersea Tourist Tunnel' project will be built in 10 phases, and it will be set up successfully!"
...
Li Yaolin thought it would take at least a year to save enough for the first phase of the project, but at the end of December, the system sent a notice to start the construction of the first phase of the underwater tourist tunnel.
Even though she trusted the housekeeper very much and knew it would not falsify, she still opened the revenue to check and found that the 600 million yuan revenue she had imagined for the fourth quarter was still too low:
the total turnover for the six days of National Day exceeded 300 million yuan, and the revenue for the whole of October was 500 million yuan.
In November and December, the temperature in most parts of the northern hemisphere dropped, and foreign tourists liked to visit coastal scenic spots dominated by "sunshine and beaches". Therefore, Xingzhou Island became the first choice destination like tropical islands, so the number of overseas tourists increased sharply.
These two months also set a record of 500 million yuan in revenue, that is, the fourth quarter's turnover was 1 billion yuan, and the annual turnover exceeded 2 billion yuan. The annual turnover of the former No. 1 hot spot in the oil market was only 780 million, accounting for a quarter of the total annual revenue of the oil market's tourism industry!
This achievement is enough for the relevant departments to worship her as the God of Wealth.
Of course, the housekeeper didn't care about that. He just took out 450 million yuan from the profits and development funds as promised to build the first phase of the "Undersea Tourist Tunnel", leaving about 100 million yuan for Li Yaolin to circulate.
Li Yaolin covered her eyes: As long as I don't look, my money is still there!
Lin Qitong, who came to find her, saw her acting strangely, knocked on the door, and asked: "Sanniang, what are you doing?"
"Doing eye exercises, do you believe it?"
Lin Qitong: "...Why do you cry when doing eye exercises?"
"I accidentally poked my tear glands."
Lin Qitong: "..."
Your tear glands are outside? If they are really outside, you should go to the hospital!
Li Yaolin rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Come and check with you the live broadcast process of the New Year's Eve fireworks show."
Due to the influence of the environment and conditions, there was no fireworks show in Xingzhou Island for the first three years of the New Year's Eve. Many tourists and employees said that the oil city has not held a fireworks show for ten years. Since the ban on fireworks in the urban area, only rural areas can see fireworks, but the effect is not as good as the official fireworks show, so let's see if we can apply for the qualification to hold a fireworks show this time.
Li Yaolin tried to apply, but he didn't expect that the city had already had this idea.
The cultural and tourism department believes that the fireworks show is indeed an opportunity to show the charm of the city of Youshi to tourists at home and abroad. However, if the government pays for it, there will definitely be many obstacles, and there will also be many problems in organizing the fireworks and choosing the venue. So when Li Yaolin proposed this plan and also took out various plans and safety plans, the leaders agreed.
This fireworks show will not only have two activities, namely setting off fireworks and celebrating the New Year. With the support of the leaders of the relevant provincial and municipal departments, the various scenic spots in the city will also carry out various special activities based on their respective advantages.
For example, the folk village in Yanling will hold a fire dragon dance evening with local characteristics; the film and television base next to it will have a drama performance of Lady Xian; several scenic spots on the same route as the tourist bus line of Xingzhou Island have also applied to hold temple fairs...
If this fireworks event can boost the tourism industry in the oil market, it is very likely to be set as a fixed activity.
And for this event, all parties will go all out:
the transportation group will invest dozens of buses and change them into holiday tourist buses, which, as the name suggests, are special buses that will only operate during major and minor holidays. In addition to Xingzhou Island, the tourist attractions along these bus routes include Yuhai Park, Yanling, Romantic Sea House, etc.
The passenger transport center will also have short-distance buses that can transport tourists from the coastal areas to the scenic areas of Youshi County-level cities, so that tourists who have enjoyed the coastal scenery can also feel the majestic mountains and rivers.
...
In short, this New Year's Eve has attracted much attention from all walks of life. As the organizer, Xingzhou Island has a great responsibility. Two months ago, from the management level to the front-line employees, they have already entered into intensive preparations.
The first thing to consider is the venue for setting off fireworks. Some employees suggested setting off fireworks on the island, some suggested setting off fireworks in the industrial park, after all, the industrial park is much more spacious, and some suggested setting off fireworks in Jiahai, where there are fewer tourists and traffic control is more convenient.
Each plan has its advantages and disadvantages. Setting off fireworks on the island is the best choice for tourists on the island, but the sound of the fireworks may scare the protected animals in the sea.
Setting off fireworks in the industrial park can bring hundreds of thousands of tourists, but it is 5 nautical miles away from Xingzhou Island, the viewing effect on the island is poor, and more manpower and material resources must be invested in prevention and control to prevent stampedes.
Setting off fireworks in Jiahai is indeed more convenient for control, but this place is far from the industrial park and Xingzhou Island, so it is the plan with the least support.
Finally, Li Yaolin said, "That's easy. Let's set off fireworks in all three places. Let's set off fireworks in the industrial park on the evening of December 29, in Jiahai on the evening of December 30, and in Xingzhou Island on the evening of December 31. Use fireworks that cause less pollution and noise..."
New Year's Day in 2024 happens to be a Monday, so the holiday starts on Saturday, December 30, for a total of three days.
A large-scale fireworks show costs at least 200,000 yuan. Li Yaolin thinks that she can still afford to set off three fireworks shows, but the management and control work will require more funds and manpower.
Before setting off fireworks on Xingzhou Island, she would first disperse the animals in the sea to avoid scaring them.
As for the pollution problem, it is only set off once a year, which is not as frequent as the Disney fireworks show, so there is no need to feel guilty about it.
All three plans have been approved by the city, so after solving the problems of the venue and the time of the fireworks, the next thing to solve is traffic control and other issues.
Based on the experience of various large-scale events in various places in the past, Li Yaolin asked Vice President Qi to order a batch of guardrails. The traffic control of the highway is the responsibility of the transportation department. What Xingzhou Island needs to do is to ensure that tourists enter, pass and leave the industrial park in an orderly manner.
In addition, the three fireworks displays are set off so that tourists can avoid the peak travel time and do not need to crowd to the Industrial Park. If you miss the Industrial Park display, you can still go to Jiahai to watch it the next night.
Moreover, after learning that Xingzhou Island will set off fireworks, Yuhai Park also applied to hold a New Year's Eve fireworks event. On the night of December 31, tourists on the shore cannot go to Xingzhou Island to watch the fireworks, but can go to Yuhai Park to watch them. The venue there is larger and can accommodate more tourists, which can meet the needs of tourists to watch fireworks as much as possible.
After the announcement was made, the citizens of the oil city cheered, and those tourists who originally didn't know where to go also turned their attention to Xingzhou Island. What made them even more surprised was that the sea cable car will extend its operating hours to 21:30 on December 30 (the last batch of tourists before 20:00 on that day).
The fireworks show will be set off from 20:00 to 20:30, a total of 30 minutes, and tourists who take the last cable car will be able to watch the fireworks over the sea on the cable car.
In order to avoid tourists queuing up and wasting time, the cable car that night will adopt the form of online real-name ticket purchase, and entry will be based on time periods. Once you miss the time, you will not be able to take the cable car.
…
Even though Xingzhou Island has set up many “unfair terms” such as 50% handling fee deduction for refunds within 12 hours before entry, 80% handling fee deduction for refunds within 2 hours before entry, and 100% handling fee deduction for refunds within 1 hour before entry, and no refunds after the time limit, it still cannot stop tourists from setting alarms and rushing for cable car tickets.
The project management teams of Xingzhou Island have also racked their brains to generate income for Xingzhou Island. For example, the director in charge of yachts proposed to open up the rights on the nights when fireworks are set off, so that tourists can board the boat to watch the fireworks at sea.
Peng Shaoyi, the professional manager of Qianlai Travel, happened to have a similar idea. He felt that since there were no flights at night, it was entirely possible to apply for a temporary route and take some tourists to watch the fireworks.
The latter proposal was rejected by Li Yaolin, who said: "When setting off fireworks, tourists will inevitably gather on one side. This kind of ferry passenger ship cannot bear the weight and will fall to one side. It is easy to capsize. The risk is too great. There is no need to take such a big risk just to gain this little turnover."
Moreover, it is easy to collide with some fishing boats that go out to sea in the dark when sailing at night. There are too many uncontrollable factors.
As for the feasibility of the former proposal, first, the number of people on the yacht is relatively small, and second, the yacht can only sail in the offshore waters of Xingzhou Island, and the possibility of colliding with fishing boats is not high.
So, a "Guide to the Best Viewing Spots for the Xingzhou Island Fireworks Festival" was released.
This was compiled by Lin Qitong and posted on the official website, and then forwarded by major official media and marketing accounts. In addition to the best viewing spots, it also provides various food, accommodation, and transportation guides.
Considering that there are still netizens who cannot come to the scene, Lin Qitong will arrange a camera for live broadcast.
Now there are less than two days to December 29, and all preparations are ready. I heard that the national cadres who are conducting research in Lingnan Province will come to inspect. The leaders of the province and the city attach great importance to it. CCTV will also come to interview and broadcast live. Thinking of this, even Lin Qitong, who has experienced many big scenes, can't help but feel a little nervous.
After confirming with her that there is no problem with the process, Li Yaolin encouraged her and said: "This process is very good, you have to believe that you are the fattest!"
Lin Qitong burst with confidence: "I think so too!"
Then she went out with high spirits.
...
As the citizens of Youshi and tourists from home and abroad counted on their fingers, it was finally the day before the New Year's Day holiday.
On December 29, many people were still at work, and the flow of people in the industrial park was about the same as usual. After noon, the thousands of parking spaces in the parking lot were quickly gone, and the number of tourists in the commercial street gradually increased. The logistics support department began to set up guardrails and control according to the planned passenger control method.
In the evening, the flow of people entering the park reached the maximum, because many people in the oil market who were off work would come here to eat early during this time.
Xingzhou Island had to control the number of people entering and leaving each entrance in advance.
Half an hour before the fireworks show, all entrances and exits stopped allowing tourists to enter. Many tourists could only choose to go to the nearby Romantic Sea House Resort, and some went to the open space in the nearby villages. The villagers in these villages came up with many ideas to make money, such as flattening their own uncultivated farmland and renting tents and picnic mats here, so that tourists can watch the fireworks at a distance.
Qiao Jin of Mandarin Group was also a little proud. After all, if Xingzhou Island can make the fireworks show a regular show, then the five-star hotel she led the investment and construction here will become the best location to watch the fireworks in the industrial park area, and there will be no worries about the hotel's low occupancy rate!
Before 20:00, the sea breeze should have been the strongest in the industrial park area, but I don’t know if it was because of the increase in tourists, but I didn’t feel any strong wind.
The night sky was also very clear, with no wind or rain, and the temperature was just right.
The entire square of the industrial park was emptied out, becoming a deserted zone, with only many fireworks placed on the ground.
The fireworks were ignited using a remote-controlled electronic igniter, and the professionals were already in place, waiting for instructions from their headsets.
At 20:00, the instructions were issued.
In the night sky, a string of fireworks quietly rose into the sky, and its small white tail quickly dissipated in the wind, until people could only see a bright, red light under the sky.
With a "bang", red spots of light exploded, and countless fireworks bloomed in all directions like silk threads. One end of these silk threads became new spots of light and bloomed a second time...
Hundreds of meters away, the tourists all looked up in the same direction. The dazzling fireworks were imprinted in their eyes amid cheers, like a burning fireball, burning their blood to boil.
Some of them held their family members’ hands tightly, expressing their indescribable feelings; some held their phones and cameras until their hands turned red from the cold, just to record this romantic half-hour; others took advantage of the fireworks to confess their love to their loved ones, and then kissed in the crowd...
The photographers chose the best positions, and the beautiful photos taken from various angles were uploaded to the Internet in large quantities. Netizens forwarded them one after another, with comments: "May the island owner bless me, and I hope my luck will change in 2024!"
The themes of the fireworks shows at the Industrial Park, Jiahai and Xingzhou Island are different, so the fireworks effects are naturally different. The theme of the Industrial Park is "Lingxi Style", Jiahai's is "Danjia Fishing Fire", and Xingzhou Island's is "Sea and Sky Are One".
The fireworks at the Industrial Park have only been set off in the second chapter, and the patterns of the fireworks at this stage are in the shape of lychees, longans, and plums, aiming to highlight the characteristics of the oil market. Some netizens have already begun to look forward to what the themes of Xingzhou Island will be.
...
At this time, thousands of miles away in Xunshi, in the thousands of residential buildings with lights on, a middle-aged man opened the door of his home. The middle-aged woman who was watching TV in the living room came to greet him and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to a drinking party? Why did you come back so early?"
"The research team has to go to the oil market tonight, so they just had a quick meal and left. The main person has left, so we who were accompanying him had to come back. Where's Ah Cong?"
"What a coincidence, he said he wanted to travel to the oil market, so he went directly to the oil market and mailed his luggage back. I have to collect the express for him tomorrow."
The man frowned, "The winter vacation is so long, why can't we go any day? On holidays, the whole family should have a meal together!"
"He said there's a park called Xingzhou Island over there with fireworks. If you miss these three days, you won't have the chance to see it."
The man's brows relaxed, and he said, "Xingzhou Island... I heard from the research team that it's a very popular island in the past two years. The country plans to vigorously support the scenic spot and let it go abroad and into the world."
"I've seen it mentioned frequently in the news recently. It seems to be a private island? I heard from Ah Cong that the owner is a young girl."
"Yes, the island owner is Li Yaolin, her origin and background are very mysterious, even the research team is unwilling to reveal her identity easily."
The woman was distracted for a moment, and the man noticed and asked, "Why are you in a daze?"
The woman came back to her senses and said, "Nothing, I just think this name is familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere."
She always felt that she knew a girl named "Li Yaolin", but every time she thought of it, her mood was extremely complicated, as if she was somewhat close to her, but also somewhat disgusted.
And the strange thing is that sometimes she always felt that she should have a daughter, but if she really had a daughter, how could she not remember it? When she remarried, how could her current husband not know about it?
The man looked at her like an idiot: "You said she was often in the news, and Ah Cong often mentioned her. It would be strange if you didn't think she sounded familiar!"
The woman patted her thigh: "Yes, look at my brain!"
She didn't think about it any more. Her current husband was still very good to her. Although her step-son didn't have a close relationship with her, he didn't hate her, so she wouldn't feel regretful even if she didn't have a biological daughter.
"Are there any dishes left? I'll have a couple of drinks."
"I'll go cook you two dishes."
...
At the same time, on Xingzhou Island, Li Yaolin was looking through the window at the distant fireworks that were as hazy as a ball of fire. She had a deep face, and her left fingers tapped the table unconsciously, wondering what she was thinking about.
With a "ding" sound, the APP sent a notification.
Seeing the little mermaid appearing in the interface, Li Yaolin was a little surprised: "Shouldn't you be on vacation at this time?"
"I'm on vacation at Xingzhou Island, isn't it okay?"
"I'm very relieved that you finally have this realization."
The little mermaid shook its long fish tail and said, "Island owner, Happy New Year!"
Li Yaolin said, "New Year's Day is the day after tomorrow."
"I won't be on vacation at Xingzhou Island the day after tomorrow. Don't forget that the island owner has arranged an overtime task for me. I have to take those timid guys in the sea out for a night swim on New Year's Eve."
Li Yaolin said, "Let me correct you, that's not called overtime, that's called working-style paid vacation."
Just kidding, the former has to pay three times the salary, and the latter only needs normal salary.
Little mermaid: "???"
Island owner, what kind of Zhou Baopi are you?
Author's words:
Little Mermaid: I will curse the island owner three hundred times.
Island owner: (*^▽^*)

The theme elements are probably: drawing cards + infrastructure + farming + hegemony
Copywriting:
Jin Zhao was once the richest merchant in the kingdom. After rejecting the king's proposal, she was imprisoned and executed on false charges, and all her property was confiscated.
After living a new life, she decided to be the master of power. Simply put, she wants to kill the king and take the throne herself!
Looking at her thin body and the wasteland in front of her, she fell into silence. She was in the remote mountainous area of the kingdom, as an orphan who was starving. She needed to help the lord reclaim wasteland in exchange for a bite of food. With this start, how can she take the throne?
Fortunately, she was tied to a "card drawing system". She was full of confidence and prepared to draw big men from all sides to help her conquer the world, but...
"Congratulations on drawing [Animal Card], use it to get Old Yellow Ox*1"
"Congratulations on drawing [Tool Card], use it to get Curved Plow*1"
...
Jin Chao: ...
Where are the golden legends and rare props that were promised? Why are all her card pools full of animals and farm tools?
It's okay to be a poor person, the most important thing is to survive first.
In this world where birth determines everything, everyone thinks that no matter how rich Jin Chao is, he is still just a commoner, farming and serving the nobles all his life.
Unexpectedly, she used a hoe to kill the lord and obtained his fiefdom, and then annexed the territories of the surrounding lords. Finally, she marched to the king's city. The king prostrated at her feet and said he was willing to spend money to buy a life.
She smiled slightly: Use my money to buy your life? Dream on.
